ep 1 premiered on HBO last night in an attempt to fill the void left by modern masterpiece Game of Thrones. the burning question on everyones mind is: will true detective live up to season 1? i cant really tell so far. theyve replaced matthew mcconnahey (sp !) and wood harleyson (sp ??) with colin farrell and vince vaugn from swingers. theres also some other characters, including a lady cop.

it seems more complicated than last season but i am willing to keep watching.

Please. Go on.
No. Vaughn and Farrell are consistently bad actors. This season will blow goats. HTH

if that is the case we can at least hope is that HBO delivers another set of GBS-approved tits

What I personally liked about season one was the teamup between two awesome actors who, in the show, were polar opposites and how they played off eachother and stuff.

I gotta say I'm not confident in this new cast at all

The first episode was boring, Vince Vaughn and Rachel McAdams are bad actors. The camera spinning around the four main characters at the end was dumb. I think they missed what made the first season good.

I bet its Vaughns character that had Farrell's wife raped so he would have leverage to make him do poo poo. If this ends up being true you know the season was bad.

Colin Farrell's eyebrows are a pretty bad actor.

Although they were pretty good in In Brughes.

Vince Vaughn is just lol though, even that other bad actor from the google movie would be better.

Owen Wilson, that's the guy.

Gonna watch episode one today but I am not pumped at all!

The whole season should be Farrell's drunk justice against 8 year old bullies.

Vince Vauhg was good I dunno what everyone is going on about.



The problem will be direction. It's a different director which is what made true detective phenomenal instead of great. So no True D won't be great this season, but I have a hard time imagining that it'll be bad.

True Detective Too was okay.
Ballers was good.
The Brink was really good. 1/4 of the episode was them trying to score weed in a Pakistani riot.

You know what really added to the show? The music video near the end. Or making your female lead a bad rear end by having her mumble all her lines.

The problem with - Vince Vaughn. Is that he - you know. Talks like - this. Maybe. If he spoke - complete - sentences. Without - - pauses. It would. Be bearable.
